Via the Modesto Bee: Modesto police arrested a man and woman Sunday on suspicion of using a Salvation Army bell and kettle to raise money for themselves, not the charity. The couple were arrested at the Wal-Mart on Plaza Parkway, Chamberlain said, adding that Williams was collecting money while Carrie was in a vehicle.
